Turkey Reports Another Iranian Missile Near-Miss Over NATO Skies Another near-miss has unfolded over NATO skies, with Turkey on Monday announcing that air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Iran. It's another dangerous indication that the Iran war could easily expand into a broader conflict at any moment. The intercept was carried out by air and missile defense assets positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean , according to the Turkish defense ministry, which offered no further initial details concerning trajectory, type, or what the intended target ultimately was. US Navy image, illustrative This marks the fourth fourth such interception since March of the war and Operation Epic Fury, which has surpassed the one-month mark. The timing is notable given Ankara is simultaneously trying to play middleman between Washington and Tehran, alongside Pakistan where regional diplomats have been trying to jump-start direct Tehran-Washington talks, which has proven elusive. Turkish and NATO officials have struck a familiar tone, describing that "all necessary measures" are being taken to counter threats to Turkish territory and airspace, and further saying that ongoing developments will be "closely monitored". There's been speculation that these ballistic missiles from Iran could be intended for US-British military assets in Cyprus . Earlier in the conflict drones were sent - likely from Iranian allies in Lebanon - onto a British airbase in EU-member Cypriot territory. NATO command has previously stated that "Our deterrence and defense posture remains strong across all domains, including when it comes to air and missile defense." This developing pattern of large Iranian missiles flying over Turkey has raised the potential for invoking NATO Article 5, despite US officials having downplayed this option. During the first incident, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth had described , "On the matter with Turkey, I'll have to get back to you on exactly what the intercept looked...

marog-pixcells Digital asset investment products saw outflows for the first time in five weeks, recording ~$414M, with total AuM falling to ~$129B. This flip from inflows to outflows reflected growing caution among investors due to the ongoing Iran conflict, as it could lead to higher inflation, reported by James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares . At the same time, June FOMC meeting expectations shifted from possible rate cuts to rate hikes. While analyzing the data, Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) bled the most during the past week, recording ~$222M in outflows. This pushed YTD flows to $273M, making it the worst-performing crypto asset. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) also saw outflows of $194M, but it remained in a stronger position overall, with $964M in net inflows YTD. Other assets showed mixed flows; for example, Solana ( SOL-USD ) recorded outflows of $12.3M, Sui ( SUI-USD ) saw $0.4M in outflows, while XRP ( XRP-USD ) was one of the only major assets recording $15.8M in inflows. Looking ahead, outflows may continue to grow as reports indicate that the Iran-Israel-U.S. war may escalate further, with Donald Trump giving a warning to target Iran’s energy and water infrastructure if no deal was reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Institutional activity also showed signs of slowing, as Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) paused its weekly BTC purchases for the first time in over a year while holding 762.10K. This pause added a cautious tone among the market. Overall, the outlook around the possible signing of the Clarity Act this week could bring positive momentum and support the crypto inflows , but for now, investors must wait for clearer regulatory and geopolitical signals.

With the exception of some select buying opportunities, I have been bearish overall for the past few months, and I continue to be concerned about a potential recession. But I also try to adapt my views when market conditions change significantly, and I feel that right now is one of those times. All the major market indexes have plunged recently, and the S&P 500 Index ( SPY ) has been down for 5 weeks in a row, with losses of about 10% from recent highs. Many sectors and stocks are down even much more than this, and I believe this has started to create some buying opportunities. A 10% decline is the generally accepted definition for a market correction, and 20% is what is typically needed to declare that we are officially in a bear market. While it is possible that we are in the earlier stages of a bear market, which is what I wrote about in this article , history shows that we can expect major rallies even in a bear market. I have been very heavy in cash for a while now, but I am still seeing some losses on my core long-term positions like Amazon ( AMZN ) and others as well. Losing money even on paper doesn't make me want to buy stocks now. I also don't feel like buying stocks because, like all of us, I have been reading some very negative predictions about what could happen with the war in Iran in the future. This includes talks of an "endless war" that sends oil prices up to $200 per barrel. While anything is possible, I think it makes sense to focus on the most likely outcome, which is that this oil supply shock will end, just as they always have in the past, and oil prices will plunge back to more normal levels. Aside from my belief that the war in Iran will not keep the Strait of Hormuz closed for much longer, I see other reasons why the stock market could be poised for a potentially major rebound in the short term. Last week (on Friday), I saw what seemed to be indiscriminate selling of stocks with major losses almost across the board. This is the type of pric...

Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) delivered blowout results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (which ended on Feb. 26, 2026) on March 18. This wasn't surprising, as the company benefits from the artificial intelligence (AI)-fueled demand for its memory products. Micron's revenue almost tripled year over year to $23.9 billion, while its non-GAAP operating margin jumped from 25% to 69%. This sharp spike in the company's margins is the result of the persistent increase in memory prices, caused by supply constraints and booming demand. Not surprisingly, Micron is scrambling to produce more chips to meet customer demand, and that's good news for Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX) . Let's see why Micron's strong growth is likely to rub off positively on Lam stock. Continue reading
